mods are asleep post cinnamon roll recipe:
3/4 cup of warm milk (think like. bathwater temp)
mix those bad boys together and let sit for a bit until the yeast foams up (i like to use a big measuring jug, saves me from washing another bowl)
1/2 cup sugar (i like to use brown or raw sugar but caster sugar works)
1 whole egg (warm it up to room temp, i put it in a mug of room temp water to speed up that process)
chuck those bad boys into the yeast/milk mixture and mix again
2 1/2 cups of plain flour
1/2 tsp salt (change it around depending on the salt ur using)
and add the wet mixture to the flour and mix until it forms a dough, and then you gotta knead it until the dough starts to be smooth and "windowpane" (so like. 10 mins?)
cover it with cling wrap and let it rise for an hour, then roll it out into a rectangle thats about a centimetre thick.
coat with softened butter (leaving a lil gap at the top or bottom which youre gonna use to help keep the roll stuck together) and coat with:
1/2 tsp ginger (it adds some nice heat to it, but its not necessary)
1 cup brown or demerara sugar
roll over the dough with the mix on top to make sure the sugar doesnt go flying as soon as you start rolling, and slowly but tightly roll up the dough, using that lil gap of uncoated dough to seal the roll
slice into 10-ish pieces depending on how long the roll is (i use a relatively sharp knife and a sawing motion to cut through without crushing the rolls)
chuck in a dish lined with baking paper or oil and let them rest with cling wrap on top for another hour or so (when they've risen they should be touching eachother slightly, so dont put them too close or too far.....)
brush some melted butter over top of the risen rolls and bake for 15-20-ish minutes at 180c and theyre done!!!! add icing or whatever (i just do a simple icing with icing sugar, butter and a bit of milk but cream cheese is good too, just hard to make lol) and enjoy teehee
